Replying to: fomocona (Dec 19, 2007 12:26 pm) Ford's customer service is lacking, I'm afraid. I've telephoned them and emailed them, and they don't answer my questions that I wanted answers to. I asked the dealer, but they don't know the answers. Here's the questions:   1. For my new 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, for the audiophile system I have, where are all 8 speakers located, along with the subwoofer? I can only find 4 areas with speaker grills (1 in each of the front doors and 2 behind the rear seat). Do each of these areas have 2 speakers next to each other?   2. Why doesn't the steering wheel lock? Every other car I've ever owned had a steering wheel that locked.   3. What were the manufacturing problems that prevented them from being able to give me the laminated side glass option I was supposed to get with my order, but did not?   4. Why did it take 4 months for me to get my car after it was ordered, instead of the 2-3 month wait the dealer said it would take?   Although I'm not happy with Ford customer service, I'm very pleased with my car. I've had it 2 weeks now and feel I've made the right choice.
#38 of 43 E85 by jesrf1 Jul 04, 2008 (7:48 pm)
I just purchased a 2007 GM LS, and so far have averaged 19-20 mpg on combined city/hwy (about 50/50 mix). I was wondering if anyone has tried E85 in their GM?   I haven't had the opportunity yet, becuase most of the E85 dealers near me only charge 5-10% less for E85 than gas, and I understand that E85 gets at least 15% less mpg. There are some other stations further out where E85 is about 15-20% less than straight gas, but I dont want to make a special trip out that way, but will give it a shot next time I'm out that way, just wondering if anyone has any data on this????

Replying to: jesrf1 (Jul 04, 2008 7:48 pm) I wouldn't put any E85 in any ICE including the lawnmower. Replies to this message: ionosphere1 (Jul 05, 2008 10:27 am)

Replying to: euphonium (Jul 05, 2008 6:51 am) E85 is another liberal lie. A big scam that doesn't help anyone.

Replying to: bruneau1 (May 18, 2006 10:58 am) Youn mention the handling package on your GM. In 2008, I purchased a 2002 GM LS. What Vin numbers are associated with the handling package? Replies to this message: euphonium (Jul 24, 2008 6:48 pm)

Replying to: crs480329 (Jul 24, 2008 8:45 am) Oversize tires, dual exhaust, & the 239 hp engine would indicate a car with the "handling package". I don't know that the VIN would indicate the package any more than the VIN would indicate what audio system is incorporated.   If you air up the tires to 35 lbs and then feel every crack in the pavement as the car corners like a locomotive, you probably have the Handling Package.

I had a 2001 Grand Monkey that I used as a company car - not much stop and go.   Averaged around 23-25 mpg ove rlong distances.   Will be picking up my Dads' '05 CV shortly ( he can't drive anymore). Hope it does as well.   Great car to drive these days - the cops think you're one of them (or their grandparents.
